A couple days late, but last Thursday we had a fun Advent activity that’s always popular with the kids: making “s’mores!”  For the uninitiated, a s’more is a toasted marshmallow with a piece of chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers.  We even had our friends over to participate, which their daughter loved.  And boy that was a lot of sugar (the very next day was our church’s Gingerbread House fellowship.  Don’t even ask how much candy was ingested there)!

And in case you’re curious, we didn’t use a traditional campfire: we used a portable butane stove that we use for Chinese table-top “hot pot” meals (cooking food in boiling broth).
